Participants for the boys and girls 2013 Idaho State High School All-Star Basketball Games were announced recently by the North Idaho College Athletics Department.

Players were chosen by a selection committee of sportswriters and broadcasters from throughout the state. The committee selected 12 players, two alternates and a coach for the four teams.

The 10th annual event is scheduled for Saturday, March 16 in Christianson Gym, on NIC’s main campus in Coeur d’Alene.
